Author Matt Chandler provides real, everyday ways to pursue faith; chasing, knowing God, and loving Jesus as the goal: To live is Christ, to die is gain — this is the message of the Philippians.

This is the short and simple guide to the message of Philippians - arguably the Bible’s most quoted book. Often quoted in sound-bites, this is the letter that Paul wrote to paint a rich portrait of you as a mature Christian.

Chandler doesn't take apart the book of Philippians verse by verse. Instead he covers all of Paul's major themes: living a worthy life, what the humble seek, rejoicing, worry, and contentment in down-to-earth, conversational, non-academic language.

Chandler links Paul’s various themes with the common thread of dying to self, pursuing Jesus, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform you. He helps you see ways you can apply the principles to your own life and grow spiritually.

Written for those new to the Bible, and those not so new still want to learn something new. Practical and useful, you’ll find applications to real life, and gain a better idea of what it means to say, "To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain."
